Just Checking In

It's been a rough few days here for this mommy's mind. Rage; guilt; crushing depression; isolation; anxiety. It's been a regular smorgasbord of psychological delights.

It's like they're leftovers that my current meds and therapy aren't addressing. I've got a list (several lists, in fact) in hand that I'll be bringing up to my therapist and new psychiatrist. I sense a new/additional diagnosis on the horizon. Which is fine, if it means getting the help I need to feel normal. Gods, I just want to feel normal.
